Rush Limbaugh is becoming more and more irrational and irresponsible in his utterances on his radio talk show.
Rush feels no need to be accurate or informed. He promotes prejudice and bias in his audience when he comes up with accusations and statements that have no basis.
Instead of calling his program “talk radio”, it is more accurate to call it “hate radio”, designed to divide and encourage dangerous emotions in ill informed people.
His latest outrage is trying to blame President Obama for the Fort Hood Massacre, which shows how loony and out of control he is.
The problem is that so many listeners believe everything he says, just as is true of Glenn Beck and other hate mongers. That is the real danger of his notoriety, that it poisons the political atmosphere in an unhealthy way dangerous to public discourse.
